lagos under the prism//african artists foundation

2/17/2011

today is the grand finale and exhibition of the etisalat amateur photography competition, 'lagos under the prism,' part of the lagos photo event series co-sponsored by the african artists' foundation. the show starts @ 4PM @ the civic centre in victoria island.

i'm super excited, stopped by the aaf last weekend to see the permanent exhibit that features some really great visual art and the best layout i've seen anywhere (the building itself is a work of art). they're located on raymond njoku street in ikoyi and the door's always open, even though the day i went there was little more in the way of a curator than a guy sleeping on the couch in the lounge. --AL.

"Photography is the fastest growing medium of creative expression today and in Lagos, the fastest growing mega city in Africa, virtually everyone with a camera or a camera phone is taking pictures. Participants were required to capture images that interpreted their view of the theme--'Lagos Under the Prism.' Be inspired."
